CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted defendant's Petition for Removal, rescinding the WCJ's Minute Order that took the case off calendar. This action was due to the defendant arguing irreparable harm and denial of due process from the abrupt rescheduling on the trial date. The Board found that the applicant's new claim for a prior back injury, filed the day before trial, did not necessarily impact the existing issues of causation and post-termination defense for the 2018 injury. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
